Pact Group makes shaky share market debut

Packaging maker Pact has had negative debut on the Australian Securities Exchange.

Shares in packaging manufacturer Pact Group finished more than 12 per cent lower in a lacklustre share market debut.

The company was formed in June 2002 and sells rigid and metal packaging products in Australia, New Zealand and Asia.

Pact raised $649 million by issuing shares at $3.80 each in a public offer that valued the company at $1.1 billion.

The shares began trading at 1215 AEDT on Tuesday, and immediately fell.

By the close of trade they were down 48 cents, or 12.6 per cent, at $3.32.
